In this high-octane Premier League clash between Chelsea and Manchester United from 04 April 2024, the latter emerged as victors by 3-2. Despite a power-packed start from Chelsea, the Blues failed to secure a win at their home ground, thanks to an incredible, statistical-based turnaround by United's exceptional teamwork and performance.

Chelsea launched the game with an exceptional offensive play, as seen by the early goal at the 3:46-minute mark, followed by another at the 18:58-minute mark in the first half, setting the scoreline to 2-0. It appeared that the home team was poised for a win. Yet, Manchester United fought back with resilience, registering their first goal at 33:39 minutes in the first half, quickly followed by another just five minutes later, thereby tying the scoreline 2-2 just before halftime.

The deciding factor in this match was the number of fouls committed. While Chelsea committed only four fouls throughout the match, Manchester United's consistent fouling - they racked up 12 fouls - indicated a hyper-aggressive approach towards possession. Despite this high-risk strategy leading to more chances for Chelsea from free kicks, it resulted in United maintaining overall control of the ball's possession and disrupt Chelsea's flow.

The second half saw only one goal, scored by Manchester United, with the deciding goal coming in at 01:06:38. Chelsea failed to find the back of the net in the second half despite having a significant number of corner kicks. Though they won nine corners as against United's mere three, the Blues were unable to capitalize on these opportunities, presenting a lack of effectiveness in set pieces and further showcases the Red Devils' solid defensive line-up.

Chelsea's discipline on the field was also put to question as they were shown two yellow cards, both in the first half, which potentially disrupted their rhythm. The number of offsides can also give insights about a team's discipline and attacking strategy. Chelsea was caught offside twice, indicating a possibly risky strategy that relied too heavily on fast-break attacks.

In summary, the significant factors that impacted this match outcome were Chelsea's inability to convert opportunities from the nine corner kicks, the high number of fouls committed by Manchester United disrupting Chelsea's gameplay, and the two yellow cards disrupting rhythm and momentum for Chelsea. These factors combined tilted the match in Manchester United's favour, enabling them to clinch a win in this exciting Premier League showdown.
